hansgruber Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I just went out and had a dry sore throat within minutes. Feel like I smoked a pack of cigarettes in 10 mins. Stay inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Windguru showing wind to be switching to blowing from the east this week so hopefully that will get this haze out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PST Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 There was a Military type plane that passed over the South of Phuket yesterday travelling South to North which appeared to be releasing some sort of chemtrail, my guess is that it was something in advance to help clear the smog which they knew was arriving today.

PM2.5 <deleted> gets in pretty much anywhere. Either a proper air purifier with a good EPA/HEPA filter or adding additional filters to room AC units will offer some relief though.

According to the latest predications I have seen for the deep south, wind coming from east/south-east will actually makes things worse as it'll bring in all the <deleted> from the Borneo island. Things down here (Hat Yai) are predicted to get worse until at least Tuesday. We need rain, lot's of it... Wind coming the west will bring smog, as will winds from the east/south-east.

xylophone Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Looking out of my window the smoke looks dreadful........so bad I thought it was a rain-shower covering Patong. Bloody disgusting. Bet the tourists will love it and send reports back home, so won't do much for TATS stats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I don't think the smog was that bad. And the dark clouds could very well have been rain clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible. 4 years ago in August it was similar and for a few days even worse than today. But I agree it's horrific at the moment. And looking at the forecast it get's worse today and tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
